Wooden puppet carving workshops
Specialist puppet courses for adults. Suitable for first time carvers or experienced makers.
Comments from past students: “Most enjoyable… excellent course… covered all aspects in a short time… very good tuition… the best course I have been on.”
PUPPET COURSES in Devon for 2023.
At last I have worked out what puppet wood carving courses I will run this year in Devon.
There is space in my workshop shed for only 4 students… so do book as soon as you can.
I hope to see you this year!
